Distinguished FacultyOur professors are the best teachers — and so much more.

Teaching just scratches the surface of all that they do. They challenge, engage, guide and collaborate with students, both in and out of the classroom. And they’re among the best at it — 11 of the 26 Oregon Professors of the Year are from Willamette.

We like to think of the Oregon State Capitol, courts and state agencies — located only a crosswalk away — as part of our campus, too. Our proximity to state policymaking provides unparalleled opportunities for internships, research and civic engagement.

Our campus boasts more than a top-ranked undergraduate program — we’ve also got stellar graduate schools in law and management. Our dual-degree programs allow students to combine a liberal arts education with professional preparation and earn two degrees in less time.

Taiko drummers at campus events, Japanese roommates, dining hall sushi — it makes you wonder if our Oregon campus was transported to Japan. You can thank our unique partnership with Tokyo International University, just one of many ways we provide a global education.

Located in Oregon’s fertile Willamette Valley, we’re uniquely situated to pursue connections with sustainability and the environment — and our 305­acre Zena Forest offers countless possibilities for academic exploration. How many other urban campuses can say they own a forest?
